7. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation
F5 Skip (SKP)
Invokes the Skip (SKP) Mode by clicking the F5 field or pressing [F5]. This function skips
backward or forward—switching the console focus from the currently active computer port to the
previous or next available one.
• The selection of computers to be available for Skip Mode switching is made with the Scan/Skip
Mode setting under the F3 SET function (see page 16).
• When in the Skip Mode, press:
• [f] to switch to the previous computer in the List
• [g] to switch to the next computer in the List
• [h] to switch to the last computer on the previous station in the List
• [i] to switch to the first computer on the next station in the List.
Note: The Skip mode will only move to the previous or next available computer in the Scan/Skip Mode
selection (see page 12).
• If a Port has been selected for Scan/Skip Mode, a Left/Right Triangle symbol appears before its
Port ID Display (when the focus switches to that port), to indicate so.
• The keyboard and mouse will not function normally in Skip Mode. The only keys you will be
able to use are the arrow keys. The Skip Mode must be exited in order to regain normal control
of the keyboard and mouse.
• To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
F6 Broadcast Mode (BRC)
F6 is an Administrator only function. Clicking the F6 field, or pressing [F6], invokes Broadcast
(BRC) Mode. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the console are broadcast to
all available computers on the installation.
This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple
computers, such as performing a system-wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, etc.
BRC works in conjunction with the F2 LIST function. The LIST function (see page 15) lets
you tailor the list of ports the OSD will display on the OSD Main Screen. When a command is
broadcast, it is done only to the Ports currently displayed on the OSD Main Screen.
• A Speaker symbol appears before the Port ID Display to indicate BRC Mode is in effect.
• The mouse will not function while the BRC Mode is in effect. You must exit the BRC Mode in
order to regain control of the mouse.
• To exit BRC Mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD Hotkey), then click the F6 field, or press
[F6].
